Sorry if this has been asked soooooo many times before, but can the F5A gaskets fit on a F6A single cam motor? Im after the exhaust gasket and the F5A one looks identical to the F6A single cam one. There is no listings in the auto shops for the F6A motor, only 550cc and 800cc motor.

Yeah they're the same. Use the F8B listing, as the ports on the F5A are slightly smaller.

I'm not sure how you'll go using a standard gasket with boost pressure though, as they are only a metallic paper style. I used an F6A gasket on my F8B turbo, which is a metal plate sandwich style.

Thanks Brayden, Where did you get the F6A one?

It came on the F6A I bought. ;) Try the stocko F8B gasket and see how you go, otherwise you'll have to get an F6A item through Cappaccino Sport.
